(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Hamilton, Bermuda, March 5, 2013 - Seadrill has exercised fixed price options
for the construction of two high specification jack-up drilling rigs at Dalian
Shipbuilding Industry Offshore Co., Ltd. (DSIC Offshore) in China. The rigs are
scheduled for delivery during the third and fourth quarter of 2015, and the
estimated total project price is approximately US$230 million (including project
management, capitalized interest, drilling and handling tools, spares and
operation preparations) per rig, with tail-heavy payment terms.
The two new units will be based on the F&G JU2000E design, with water depth
capacity of 400ft and drilling depth of 30,000ft. Seadrill has now in total six
jack-ups under construction at DSIC Offshore of which two are scheduled for
delivery in 2013 and four in 2015.
Fredrik Halvorsen, Chief Executive Officer of Seadrill Management Ltd, says in a
comment, "The two jack-up newbuilds are ordered in-line with our customers
preference for high specification jack-up drilling rigs and a strengthening
jack-up drilling market. We continue to see solid demand for this asset class
with both dayrates and contract duration increasing. These two new orders will
increase Seadrill's jack-up fleet to 28 units and strengthen our position as the
largest operator of modern high specification drilling units."
